In my opinion, every android device should have the option to use AT LEAST AOSP.
The device is yours, if no one provides updated you should have the ability to sideload an OS of your choice.
Obviously this is not simple for most people, compiling AOSP for your device is not an easy task, features get lost because of vendor specific code.
What we need is a Nexus like approach but without the planned obsolescence.
But you're right, 5 years support is very nice.
The thing is, phones get so powerful these days that i don't that there's any feature that would justify obsolence.
- proyb2 10y agoTrue, I tried XDA ROM with fairly easy to root on Samsung phone. My opinion that renting a phone with paid subscription OS sound much attractive than paid subscription OS alone. Telco ISP offer premium services to replace iPhone and Android phones without question ask at a lower fee. Majority of consumers' expectation are unlike we see 20 years ago, they would like 4K display, for medical research like HealthKit and movie realistic gaming are powerful. iPhone 7 and phone that use Snapdragon 8x0 are just enough but not great since batteries lifespan is the limitation. Li-Ion batteries is going to phase out with a non-hazard batteries. Someone could start with Samsung Tizen OS, they still have not take off.
